Royal Tenenbaum

        The Royal Tenenbaum is presented to be a movie that was derived from a book that actually didn’t exist. The movie was directed by Wes Anderson who was said to make an extensive and careful use of typology. The movie was all about a family having a father who deceived them after saying he has a stomach cancer just to win back his wife and children’s attention. The movie showed the absurd some aspect of the behaviour of each Tenenbaum child. Also, it has an ironic representation that something should happen, that it is odd and amusing for it involves some contrast resulting a great sense of humor pervading the film.

The Royal Tenenbaums was a story of a family having three children who were believed to be geniuses and their father who had considered being a failure father to them resulting to a great frustration of the three as they grow up and have their life. They were reunited once again and the memories of their childhood that meant to be forgotten were remembered once more including the hatred and the mistrust.
